Answers
Answer:
1 13/62
Step-by-step explanation:
150/124
=75/62
=1 13/62
Step-by-step explanation:
1. GCD or HCF method
2. Prime factorization method
GCD Method :
step 1 Address the formula, input parameters & values.
Input parameters & values:
The given fraction = 150/124
step 2 Find GCD (Greatest Common Factor) for both numerator & denominator.
The GCF for 150 & 124 is 2
step 3 divide the numerator & denominator by GCD 2 and rewrite the fraction
= (150/2) / (124/2)
= 75/62
Thus, 75/62 is the simplified fraction for 150/124 by using the GCD or HCF method.
Prime Factorization Method :
step 1 Address input parameters & values.
Input parameters & values:
The given fraction = 150/124
step 2 Find prime factors for both numerator & denominator and rewrite the fraction in the form of prime factors
Prime factors for 150 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 5
Prime factors for 124 = 2 x 2 x 31
= (2 x 3 x 5 x 5) / (2 x 2 x 31)
step 3 solve & rewrite the fraction
= ( 3 x 5 x 5)/( 2 x 31)
= 75/62
Thus, 75/62 is the simplified fraction for 150/124 by using the prime factorization method.
